He dances like no one's watching. It's pure, real, raw, and my God, so sexy!

[@fi3_fitri504]

Indeed.. a crazy sexy thing i ever seen 😍

[@rachelvillarim3279]

Someone help me i felt in love 😻

[@jazztap64]

I never thought I would see Thom Yorke on stage with less clothes on than Flea :)

[@pipwolverine]

excuse me I have to go and lie down for a little while

[@kimberlysanmartin2642]

Still needing a wee lie down after 8 years♥️

[@ananyasarkar1306]

Don't get any big ideas ladies. they are not gonna happen :'(

[@OrangeySnicket]

This is has um, lovely cinematography and art direction.

[@xiusha1992]

i'm always wondering how he can sing so clear when he's shaking his head in this way? O_o

[@SETRAAKI]

His control over his voice is CRAZYYYYYYY. Even now after 14 years sonce ur comment he is still going strong

[@wurble]

This is truly fucking brilliant. Thinking how Thom came across back in the ok computer era... dark, moody, awkward, introverted, etc... I'd have never imagined in a million years that some considerable time in the future he'd be pulling off these kinds of moves with his shirt open like some kind of awesome stripogram.

[@GiraffeThePimp]

never in my life have i ever not doubted in loving a hot 44 year old man

[@piktasvaikasvid]

i'm hypnotized every single time i watch this

[@ParanoidRuby]

[@OrangeySnicket]

If I worked for KZbin, I would've invented the HD option just to accommodate this video.

[@RichardLaarge]

This is actually mental. 5 stars for freaking me the hell out.

[@viktor280]

Agree

[@itsbeadyeyes]

I'm glad Thom got what he seemed to want most during the era when he wrote Creep. He's beautiful and fucking special. I for one think he's the sexiest man alive.

[@Tire.Dude.42]

I'm not even gay and this is sexy

[@lezlyeperez5281]

Thom is definitely feeling himself

[@2coloursinmyhead]

That little break where Thom says "Come on, come on." and then the beat drops back in is sooooo sick

[@julijalia]

oh my god - thom is even sexier than i would dream

[@maybird10]

Just......bless you for taking this video

[@humbucker08]

I love Radiohead... Thom with his shirt off tho... uh... I don't know if I'm ready for that. But whatever, genius is genius.

[@radioheadtv3131]

1:07-1:28 is the best part

[@TheMiwaro]

I would have had no idea flea could get into music like this....i have that much more respect for him now

[@guanaco103]

This is pretty much one of the sickest live tracks iv'e ever heard

[@forcetengal2451]

I am not okay, in any sense of the word. Thom, what have you done? lemme die.

[@crepequeen643]

Thom tryna give me daddy issues in this performance

[@colingreenwoodfan727]

Clearly, you don't own an airfryer.

[@AnisaA]

One of my first fangirlish comments for quite some time : That was hot. But really... PAPERBAG WRITER! How fucking awesome is that. thanks for the upload ♥♥♥

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

i never would have expected to hear this one live, what a nice treat

[@Outlawstar615]

This is intoxicating.....or maybe its just seeing Flea and Thom Yorke sharing some air...wish i was there to catch that infectious groove!

[@one1950smovie]

he was just as beautiful and special when he wrote creep :)

[@jusdubzzz]

I LOVE his moves

[@VivaLaLhuna]

Im a man, but Yorke semi-shirtless deserves a :FapFapFap:

[@AnisaA]

This song , it seems so appropriate for the gig they were playing. Like, just dance. Groove. They're in a club afterall, aren't they? You go to a big radiohead concert and just expect to hear amazing music, not dance around in a little dark and crowded space. At least, that's how I think of it. I'm just so glad to hear this live... Even if it's not Radiohead, just Head. lol

[@kevinvalde]

Its a previously atoms for peace line up

[@The90sGamingGuy]

Flea knows how to make that bass groove.Paperbag Writer. Sounds like Thom kinda took the name from The Beatles. I know that their song is Paperback writer. Just a little switching of words. Pretty neat.

[@JonnyKaine]

this is an awesome song. I was unsure about Flea but really... these sort of bass heavy songs - it works perfectly.

[@Motojourney]

I'm not 100% sure, but it's pretty evident by the fact that he's not playing with them that they didn't feel like playing entire concerts comprised solely of his solo material.

[@buenasvidas]

I'm dying slowly

[@MrMojoRisin22]

Look at Thom getting all sexy on stage

[@JimenaA]

Well. After watching this, I'll have dirty dreams. Why are you doing this to me? If you know he will never be mine.

[@MrMojoRisin22]

Flea says you're welcome

[@88wi]

genius + sexy = Thom Yorke ^^

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

so good to hear this live

[@OrangeySnicket]

Lol, you are all over these Radiohead/Thom videos. I guess I know this 'cause I watch every one of them out there too!

[@thesciencesrule]

Oh, my heart...

[@mortar12]

If I had the money I would gone to this. I'd have killed to see this!! This looks like such an awesome show!!!

[@militajryjoy]

This man drives me crazy. Why?!

[@Fro0st1k]

Just genious. All of them.

[@talk45]

I love his wiggling:) makes my heart melt

[@johnqpublic2718]

that certainly does look like collin's bass. This is almost too weird, but this is one of my favorite radiohead songs... It's pretty spot on to the com lag version in my opinion.

[@JackLulz]

thom got MOOOVES.

[@rustair]

Thom Yorke's bare chest.... Could of sworn I was straight the other day.?? also i don't think flea actually sounds too great here...

[@Emnor1993]

yeah it seems like hes finally happy cause he knows what great and creative work he has done

[@Braxium1]

smexy thom

[@colingreenwoodfan727]

grandpa got the sauce 🤔

[@slashbows]

[@ladykevin]

BEST. THOM. DANCING. EVER!!

[@RockIsAGirlsBestFriend]

He changed shirts during the set break. Wish I could have done the same - it was hot and sweaty in there!

[@otalactea]

I always watch this video when i feel sad

[@kevinvalde]

Why you feel sad? :((

[@Swachitsky]

s-p-e-e-c-h-l-e-s-s. i never thought i'd see thom like this. DAYUM

[@kimberlysanmartin2642]

Firstly, sooo digging sexy thom. Secondly, i think the only time flea wears a shirt is when he plays with thom.

[@danielkkwon]

wat a haunting song O_O.....FUCKIN LOVE IT!!!!!! specially with two of my favorite musicians on stage together =D

[@piperjo99]

I'm speechless and breathless!...Love you Thomas!

[@skun5844]

Phew, for a minute there I lost myself

[@biachan4]

Ow, I dare say Thom is in excellent shape!!! Great tummy! :D

[@opiumBIGGESTFAN2]

you a freaky ass dude

[@justinallenyoungk8577]

This song as well as another similar sounding song (bass driven) Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses was released on an EP in Japan and Australia and then everywhere else in the months that followed. The initial release was in 2004 and the songs on it were written around the Hail to Thief era by Radiohead. The EP is called Com Lag.

[@tony920226]

thom has been working out

Paperbag Writer Radiohead Blow into this paperbag, Go home, stop grinning at everyone. Blow into this paperbag, Go home, stop grinning at everyone. It was nice when it lasted, But now it's gone.

[@mamainparis]

[@cinna100]

So how come he's wearing 2 different shirts? Check " Skip divided" by the same uploader -> different shirt??? I really love this video, it's the best ever! This working with other people really seems to inspire Thom! And watch Flea go!

[@kirashevchuk3034]

agree, i think it was hot in Echoplex. anyway - sound is sound, show is show and Thom is Thom!

[@MsSuperGlamorous]

[@given2fly60]

OMG! I love this so much!

[@gigilovesbreakingbad]

he is so hot oml

[@allbearsrule]

god this is SO awesome!!!

[@Rockadoodleross]

Man, I love Flea!

[@The90sGamingGuy]

Radiohead has changed for the better. Their old material is good. Bands need to change and grow over time. They cannot put out the same old sounding records.

[@Motojourney]

He's not playing with them because they probably don't want to play stuff completely composed by Thom and for Thom. It's his solo stuff, not something the entire band participated in.

[@JUSTxK1LL1NGxT1M3]

dear god hes hot....

[@sexton610]

I love this song!

[@Folco]

Yes.

[@JoseWhon]

This is fucking brilliant

[@MsSuperGlamorous]

SEXY THOM WITH HIS SHIRT OFF OH YEA.

[@wagnerubiali]

there is something strange in the air.... Thom... sexy? OMFG! ahuahauha

[@Carzand]

Tom York dances like I do! Spastically.

[@primussucks]

what a crazy combo!

[@krizcriskriz2]

magnificent!

[@itsbeadyeyes]

Damn, I almost forgot how hot he can be. I'll just consider myself reminded.

[@gunandapackofsndwchs]

Since when was Thom OK with showing the skin???? Ahhhh...he's hangin' with Flea now, God bless 'im.
